Michael Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Is there another way of clamping really worn HU101 Ford keys? My Silca Matrix SX doesn't like them if they're worn on the sides and won't clamp them. They just keep squeezing them out when I tighten the clamp. Any ideas????

grahamparker Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 None, we see many like this but we just decode by eye check code is a valid number then cut on the Triax. Not the answer you want really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted April 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I cut them for a local Ford dealer and I've had a few recently that I couldn't do. Just explained the only way I can think of is, as you say, a coding machine. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to purchase one of these, just thought I may be missing a little trick somewhere!

Count Muppet Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 The 19j clamp on the futura holds them great. maybe there is something similar you can get for manual machines? We used to have extra clamps for Mercedes keys on our punto years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted April 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 They look perfect. Not used that site before, are they reliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Never heard of them. Just the first thing that came up with a Google search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
